Am I glass?
if you touch me will I crack?
can you see through me?
do you not see the tears in my eyes?
if I fall will I shatter?
am I glass?
am I the fragile,
being that you see me to be?
how can you look into my eyes,
and not see the pain,
and the sorrow?
am I so clear that all you see is your own reflection?
or do you see the reflection,
of your own shattered soul?
